Just for the record, you CAN get a more recent definition of C; just
buy the appropriate UNIX System V manuals.  You don't need a license.
The language is much nicer these days than it was at the time of 7th
Edition UNIX.

I obtained the DECUS C compiler and was not at all impressed with it.
To give the audience an idea of how its developers viewed C, the DECUS
compiler was WRITTEN IN MACRO-11!  Most of the emphasis in its library
support was on ways of accessing the baroque DECisms, especially bad
in the RSX-11M version.  You would think that "Software Tools" would
have had a larger impact..
